Just asking for a friend. Did they stop public beheadings in France.....

( Please note, this is just an awful joke. In no way do I advocate the death sentence. in any shape or form.)

They did - the last one was in 1977 though, which really isn't that long ago!

EDIT - wait, you said public beheading. That was in 1939 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugen_Weidmann?wprov=sfla1
